c63 amg
Just bought my first c63 amg

Hi all new to this forum im from Melbourne Australia
Just bought my first c63 looking at doing few mods to it
Ive wrappped roof black and other bits alresdy
Next mods are

Lowering it
What are the best springs that are reasonably low and effective

Exhaust
Wanting to remove secondary cats and remove ressi can i buy something already made to suit

Tune
Hi flow airfilters and put onto a dyno for maximum performance

Lsd diff
Looking into a wavetrac diff most likely instead of a quaife diff

Carbon diffusers
Carbon fibre front lip and rear diffuser with larger fins

Any help and advise would be muchly appreciated
Thanks

Great looking C63 and welcome. Seems you are eager to get started on the mods, be sure to check out https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...-stickies.html it has a lot of great info.

Exhaust - https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...uy-thread.html is one option you can go with.

Tune/Filters - AFE pro dry filter is best way to go. As far as tune, lots of great ones out there but you can't go wrong with Eurocharge, they are top notch.

LSD - Wavetrac is great, have the same thing on mine. Tal@ACG Automotive set me up with an install kit that comes with everything needed. Not sure if there is a closer/locale vendor that could help out.

Carbon - There are tons out there, Mode Carbon, RW Carbon. Depends also on how much you want to spend, quality, etc.

Good luck with the mod searching though!

I have a wavetrac going in as well, but Tal no longer works there. I think it's now scott@acgautomotive.com

Welcome, only thing that wasn't mentioned was springs.

Go with H&R sport springs. Perfect drop, nice ride, affordable.

Dive into the FAQ and stickies for the rest. Spark notes, Mikes power pipes are great and Eurocharged for the tune. Don't buy the tune through the website, contact EC through the forum and you'll get a much better price.

Congrats on your new ride. I'm sure you are going to love it.
I dropped my car off this afternoon to get my Wavetrac LSD installed. Can't wait to test it out.

I noticed that when I linked it and it showed scott@acgautomotive.com on the profile page. Hopefully Tal is still with the team, maybe down at the new store.

The filters you can get from ECSTuning.com or from the vendor here by sending them a pm - ECSTuning Vendor. They will set you up.

Nope, no clicking or grinding. A whole lot more traction though , you will definitely see a difference.

remove the secondary cats and put straight pipes. cheap, easy, and car still sounds completely stock until you open it up.

also cold start will bark like a mother****er. will scare small children.

Removing resonator will make it a bit louder, but it will also make it raspier. Like solekeeper suggested, I would start with 2nd cats w/straights, then if it is not loud enough, you can remove the resonator then. I have my 2nd cats w/straights and love it too. It is a quite a bit louder/deeper/healthier sounding and you don't lose any of the AMG growl.
